Noncontact Modal Analysis of a Pipe Organ Reed using Airborne UltrasoundStimulated VibrometryMay 25, 2004Acoustical Society of America Meeting Thomas M.

Overview • Introduction • Organ reed pipes • Introduction to ultrasound stimulated vibrometry in air • Comparison of ultrasound stimulation to other techniques • Conclusions
Two primary goals for this experiment • Demonstration of audio-range ultrasound stimulated vibrometry in air • Interference of ultrasound causes noncontact excitation of object • Ultrasound can be focused at point – little excitation of other areas • Doesn’t depend on electrical or other properties • Has been demonstrated in water, but not in air • Study vibrational modes of organ reed pipes • Torsional and other modes using mechanical shaker (Nov. 2003 ASA) • Mechanical driving of reed is indirect - driver on shallot shakes system Does it yield actual modes? • Does the addition of a mechanical driver perturb the system? • With ultrasound stimulation, direct excitation of reed with no contact
Ultrasound Stimulated Vibrometry • Pair of ultrasound beams directed at object, in this case organ reed • One ultrasound transducer differs from other by audio-range frequency • Beat frequency between the ultrasound beams causes vibration of reed • Vibrations are detected using a laser vibrometer
Example of Ultrasound Stimulated Vibrometry • Two low-cost ($5) 32.8 kHz ultrasound transducers directed at organ reed • Frequency of one kept at f1= 32.4 kHz • Frequency of second swept fromf2= 32.4kHz to 33.2 kHz • Difference frequencyfAudio =0 to 800 Hz causes excitation of reed • Vibrations detected using Polytec PSV-300 scanning laser vibrometer • Reed resonance at 580 Hz clearly seen in vibrometer spectrum
Different ultrasound methods used in this study • Two separate ultrasound transducers, such as 32.8 kHz w/ 1kHz bandwidth • Somewhat difficult to align these to converge at same spot on reed • Confocal transducer ($5k); 550 kHz broadband, 30mm focal length • Annulus where inner and outer ring driven at two different frequencies • Single transducer driven in AM mode: Dual sideband-suppressed carrier • Both frequencies emitted from single transducer • Requires only one transducer & RF amplifier • However, both frequencies are combined in transducer; some audio emitted
Comparison of ultrasound stimulation and other excitation methods Ultrasound stimulation • Produces very clean spectra • Observed modes in good agreement with theory Mechanical Shaker • Placed in contact with shallot. • Can cause vibration of otherportions of system (supports, clamps) Speaker • Placed 10 cm from reed • Frequency response limits range of excitation frequencies
Modal analysis using scanning vibrometer • Reed was excited using ultrasound or mechanical shaker • Scanning vibrometer deflects laser beam across vibrating surface • Uses Doppler shift to determine amplitude and phase of velocity at each point • Software plots 3-D deflection shape for each peak in spectrum Rotated ImageShowing Displacement Face-On ViewOf Vibrating Reed Scan PointsMeasured on Surface
Modal Shapes of organ reed: Ultrasound Stimulated Vibrometry • Mode shapes similar to shaker excitation; consistent with theory • Ultrasound spot size is 1mm; vibrating reed section is 9 mm by 5 mm 1st Cantilever 726 Hz Torsional 2.95 kHz 2nd Cantilever 4.54 kHz
Selective excitation using ultrasound stimulation • With a focused ultrasound source, can control where excitation occurs • Ultrasound focused at reed surface, so only the reed itself is excited • The shaker vibrates the entire structure, including clamps, supports, etc. • Low-frequency peaks in shaker spectrum due to clamps/supports As evidence that these are due to supports: A 100g weight was added to one clamp, which shifted the resonance
Conclusions Demonstrated Ultrasound Stimulated Vibrometry in Air • Completely noncontact for both excitation and measurement • No mass loading of object • Excitation bandwidth of ultrasound transducer • Might enable mechanical excitation of objects at 20 kHz or higher • Selective – focused at surface, so no backgrounds due to clamps/supports • Single-point transducer (1 mm spot) excited modes of extended objects • Vibrations in excess of 5μm (4mm/s) at 145 Hz for 36mm x 6mm reed • May be applicable in industrial or commercial settings, such as MEMS Vibrational Modes of Reed Organ Pipe • Validation of prior measurements showing torsional and higher-order modes • Identical modal frequencies for shaker and ultrasound excitation • Consistent mode shapes for both excitation methods • Indicates that mechanical shaker technique valid for this system http://physics.gustavus.edu/~huber/asa2004/
